SPEAKING Training: your personal AI public-speaking coach. Change the way you speak in public. SPEAKING Training puts you in front of a realistic AI audience — a venture capital panel, a TV journalist, a parliamentary committee, a board of directors — and measures you while you speak, just like on the real stage. HOW IT WORKS Study. Six chapters on public speaking fundamentals: structure, voice, dialectics, audience management, rhetoric, cultural frameworks (Hofstede). Simulate. Pick one of 16 scenarios, from a 5-minute team standup to a UN keynote. The AI audience reacts: asks tough questions, shows disengagement, applauds. You answer by voice or text. Get debriefed. AI assessment on 5 axes (clarity, engagement, structure, delivery, persuasion) with an S-to-F grade, a detailed narrative, and personalized tips linking back to the relevant study paragraphs. 16 SCENARIOS, 4 TIERS • Beginner: weekly stand-up, internal product demo. • Intermediate: VC pitch, conference keynote, change-management workshop, new-hire onboarding, B2B client pitch. • Advanced: academic panel, reorg town hall, board meeting with KPIs below target, quarterly earnings call, parliamentary hearing. • Expert: crisis press conference, hostile live TV interview, union negotiation, UN plenary speech. GAMIFICATION 10 levels (from Novice to Stage Leader), 16 badges across 4 categories, daily challenge, anonymous percentile ranking on each of the 5 axes. The daily streak keeps you on track. FREEMIUM MODEL Chapter 1 of the study and the "Monday stand-up" scenario are free (3 attempts). Unlock single scenarios at €9.99 or all 15 with the €79.99 bundle. One-time purchases, never a subscription. PRIVACY AND AI ACT Compliant with the EU AI Act (Reg. 2024/1689 art. 50) including explicit disclosure of generative AI use. GDPR art. 20 data export (portability) and art. 17 account deletion (right to be forgotten) directly from Settings. Your data stays in the EU, no opaque transfers to third parties. MULTILINGUAL Interface, scenarios and assessments in Italian, English, French, German, Spanish. The AI audience replies in the language you choose. NO SUBSCRIPTION Pay once, keep forever.
